My name is Tippayachat Sanghiran. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from Rhode Island School of Design(RISD).I am originally from Bangkok, Thailand.
Growing up in Thailand, and moving to the US for higher education has allowed me to gain different views of the built environment. I’ve seen a city transformed itself from ground up as I went to a high school in an industrial zone in Thailand. In a developing country like Thailand there are still vast amounts of design decisions to be made. I lived in Providence, Rhode Island, where some of the houses are 300 years old. I am amaze by this contrast, but at the same time I realize that there is a large gap of knowledge thats not distributed in all areas of the world. I want to take part in the leadership role in shaping our built environment. I want to make architecture that is meaningful to people.

A space, no matter what scale and size, can be called a “place” only when it has importance to someone. The opposite of place is the non-place. Highways, hotels, shopping malls, supermarkets are considered a non-place because it suspends identity, relations, and history. Its meaning has been reduced to exchange; these non-places are results of advancement in technology and capitalism in our society. The Project is situated in a place that is forgotten, and can’t be accessed. My interest lies in the understanding of this place. When we look at the world as places and non-places we start to understand its collection and attachment between people. We see the world of meaning and experience, instead of exchange. The project aims to transform an unused rice field that became inaccessible due to Bangkok’s rapid growth to a place. This site is only a “place” to my family because of the memories we have of it, but to the world it has lost its importance and will eventually be forgotten if left untouched. What make a place important to someone are its history and the experience it can offer to the user. I proposed to design a place that acknowledges its existence in the city of Bangkok.

I am working with a site that is inaccessible. It exists in a city where urban growth is unchecked. New buildings come up so fast that the regulations of the city do not cover all aspect of this growth. This has caused in accessible sites throughout the city. But at the same the site has a growth that is unchecked. Because of minimal human contact the organisms on the site is allowed to thrive. Some there are more than 15 rain trees that are over 80 ft tall, and a Bo tree that is estimated to be 100 years old. This is a rare condition one would expect to see in Bangkok’s concrete jungle.
From researching the conditions of Bangkok, I have come to realize that there is a lost of connection to nature. When there is not value, there is no care. I want to make architecture that return this care. A lot of the canals in the city is full of trash floating in it. The air is polluted, and there is high volumes of malls being built instead of open public spaces. Instead of going into buildings that sheild you from the outside, I’m proposing to design a building that asks you to be outside to enjoy the environment.

Map of the river and the siteThe course of the river has been constructed and changed over time. When Bangkok was made a capital city in 1783, people started developing a canal network throughout the city as a method of transportation and a way to retain and control flood waters.

Flooding conditionsThe flood of 2011, sank many provinces of Thailand. Bangkok, being the capital was protected by water gates, but this caused the provinces outsite of it to flood more that expected. There is still no perfect plans to protect the country against a flood at this volume.

Public Spaces conditionsI grew up going to malls. I did not know of other things to do that wasn’t related to exchange value. In the society that I come from that is not much concern with the improvement of public spaces and there is more concern with building shopping malls and buying of commercial goods.

I proposed to design a project situated in the site. The inaccessibility of the site will be solved by sharing the land with neirgboring lot. The aim of this project is to create architecture that allows people to connect to the enviroment. A model for living which doesn’t value exchange value or commercial goods, but values identity, creativity, health, and nuture.

The city of Baton Rouge has decided that its existing public library wasn’t providing the quality that its citizen deserve. This proposal intends to be the center of knowledge and question what it means to be library in the digital age. The image of the library no matter how much technology has developed will always be books, but its the contents has developed over time. The Library is a stack of books, each book (floors) caters to a different use group. The playfulness of the “stack of books” library is to attract readers and learners. I want to make the image of the library as a fun place. Each book volume overlap each other in different directions and creates outdoor spaces. The plan of the building is not straight forward and might be confusing to navi-gate around at first, but this is to create a sense of search and dis-covery for the users. This library is not just about books, its a place where the community can discover knowledge through making and learning. The use of horizontal sun louvers is to resemble the pages in the books. The another important aspect of this project is its adapta-tion to Baton Rouge’s hot humid climate. The books creates overhangs to self shade its out door spaces and therefore reduce cooling loads.

This project was a collaboration done with two other students: Kyle Kis-er, and Owen Song. The class aims to teach students what it means to detail and conceive an integrated building environment. This projected covered a lot of new grounds in architecture for me. The team was re-quired to produce a set of construction documents the series included: architectural plans and section, structure, egress, HVAC, landscape, and building details. Another important aspect of this class was to use the Passive House Planning Package as a tool to help design and make de-cisions on materials, and sizing of systems. The project is envisioned to be work spaces that divided depending on usage, so it has flexibility to be divided into smaller divisions, or one main volume. The proposal size and scale emphasizes on Providence’s large mill building district along the waterfront. It also has an operable courtyard that would be open in the summer months to allow cross ventilation and passively help with air return cycle.

The Nantucket Island School of Design and Art is dedicated to sharing the spirit of art and creativity. It is an institution dedicated to promote understanding of the natural world. The project was to redesign the school with passive and active strategies to make the building self-sus-taining and to teach about sustainability and our natural resources. The proposal opened up on the ground level to allow for access and sight from the existing kettle pond to the hill side. This opening also allowed prevailing winds in the summer to pass through. The building shape also blocked the site from prevailing winter winds. Parts of the landscape was shaped to accommodate events outside events in the summer using the building facade as a back drop. Nantucket Island has a very beautiful landscape, the main studio has no windows that allows for views but instead has sunlights illuminate the space. This move was done so that the users could cherish that fact the outside is beautiful while inside the building, this also allows for more concentration and looking inwards into studio spaces. The window to facade ratio was calculated so that the building wouldn’t over heat in the summer and have a specific heat demand of 4.74 KBTU/ft2 per year.

Built in 1828, the Greek Revival style Providence Arcade is at its low point. The Arcade’s current emptiness is shameful to itself and Providence. The design studio was to propose a renovation strategy and bring the arcade back to life. The project utilizes adjacent empty lots to create a high rise residential tower that uses the arcade as an entrance. In another lot a life style center with an open air public space. By using the Arcade as a front entrance, the residential tower fully exemplifies the Arcade’s heroic entrance. Located above the life style center are incubator office spaces which is also connected to the arcade. The unified project aims to bring street activity back to downtown Providence. The residential tower was designed so that it’s shadow wouldn’t cast on to the plaza at important times of the day.

In the 1980s, Providence saw the opportunity to redesign and redevelop 77 acres of land to create the Capital Center. The design studio proposal was to re-imagine the possibilities for Providence. The project examines the possibility keeping the rail road tracks where it is and sinking it under-ground. This is done to allow for vehicular and pedestrian movement at grade level. Using the existing Union Station building with an addition hall, the project aims to unify downtown Providence with the Capital Center district. By combining interstate, intrastate buses, and regional trains into one station, Providence Union Station will be Rhode Island’s transporta-tion hub, bringing commerce back to the Capital Center district.

This project investigates two materials, plaster and spandex fabric. The project was created out of interest in casting plaster. The goal of this in-vestigation is to create evocative visual effects using plaster with flexible form work. It was an experiment with mold making. Dowels and fishing line were used to determined to form of the casted plaster. When Plaster is poured into the mold the fabric stretch under the weight of the plaster. The result being a interesting form created by gravity and the constraints of the mold.
